Summary of the contracting process

Respect Collaboration Trust commissioned alternative education for children of compulsory school age who cannot receive suitable education at school because of suspension, exclusion or other circumstances. The service combines boxing, health and fitness with educational provision. It includes course delivery, attendance management, pupil progress and outcomes tracking, behavioural and safeguarding management, quality assurance, reporting and support for curriculum and special educational needs requirements. Full-day placements may also require an appropriate meal for pupils receiving free school meals. The buying organisation is Respect Collaboration Trust, with procurement managed by PHP Law LLP. Delivery is in Derby. This is an education and training service, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and awarded under an open procedure. Derby City Boxing Academy Community Interest Company was selected as the single supplier on 27 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 1 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with rolling annual renewals for up to five years, giving a maximum extent date of 31 August 2031. Its value is £100,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000 including VAT. Three bids reached the final stage, including one from an SME. Evaluation weighted quality at 70% and price at 30%. Quality covered the service offer, location, staff qualifications and experience, course provision, progress tracking, attendance, safeguarding and behaviour management, quality assurance, compliance and policies. Bidders needed specified insurance and up to two relevant contract examples from the previous three years.

This award indicates recurring demand from the Trust for alternative provision that combines education with structured boxing, health and fitness activity. A credible future supplier would need to demonstrate safe, well-supervised delivery for vulnerable pupils, with robust safeguarding and complete DBS checks, reliable attendance and registration processes, and effective behaviour management. Relevant teaching and learning capability should cover curriculum and SEND needs, accreditation, pupil progress, outcomes and reintegration support. Providers would also need qualified and experienced staff, suitable premises and provision location, dependable transport or logistics where required, and systems for handling pupil data securely. Strong candidates would be able to evidence comparable education or training contracts, maintain appropriate liability and cyber insurance, meet health and safety and policy requirements, and provide regular reporting, quality assurance meetings, observations, visits and measurable performance information.
